Notes: "The typography class was first asked to develop a list of one hundred significant problems in America ... They decided to select addiction to media for their advocacy efforts ... They all have extensive experience with the deluge of information ... and even have friends who are on the verge of addiction. The goal became not only to promote awareness of the consequences of addictive behavior, but also to reveal the lure of new media that seduces us daily."--"Features" page before colophon.

"This limited edition was developed by students in the Typography and the Book Arts class at the Scripps College Press. The texts were presented on differing sizes of three papers, Nideggen, Frankfurt Creme, and Frankfurt White, to reflect layering on the desktop with the deluge of information from the internet. All the type was hand-set from metal typefaces, which included Scripps College Old Style, Optima, Centaur, Univers, Garamond, Caslon, Goudy Modern, Fournier, Weiss Initials, and Forum Capitals. The SML code on the title page was written as a computer science class assignment ... Imagery was carved into linoleum and printed on four Vandercook presses. The binding material, Quinel Graphite, was chosen to resemble the soft cases that protect laptops and iPads from damage. The class was assisted by Jack Slaughter and by our teaching assistant, Claremont Graduate University student Nano Rubio. ... An edition of 103 copies."--Colophon.
